You’ll notice a new voice introducing the podcast this week—one of our favorite storytellers, Joe Holland. If you haven’t heard already, Mary and Robert have moved to Seattle—so, to keep things going in San Diego, a few long-time fans have taken over, promising to maintain the spirit of the show. One of those folks is Joe, who is helping produce the podcast.

Episode 168: Our story today comes from Denver comic artist, Lonnie MF Allen.

The theme of the evening was “Rocking The Boat.”

Episode 165: Jordan Grasso is an adjunct professor of sociology at Palomar College in North County San Diego but she’s on her way to Florida to pursue a Phd!

Episode 164: Our story today comes from Denver comedian and dear friend of The Narrators, Christie Buchele. Christie told this story at our 8th anniversary show back in March, with a little help from fellow comedian and friend of the show Talitha K. Each story that night was accompanied by sound painting, a.k.a. live improvised music from our pals at Playground Ensemble. The whole evening was an interesting experiment, full of bumps and surprises and supremely real moments. The story you’ll hear today was one of our favorites of the night. Christie’s story was told live on 21 March 2018 at Buntport Theater in Denver, Colorado. The theme of the evening was “Keeping Up.”
